I just wanted to thank everyone, I'm pretty sure that it's Zapekanka. Which is good because it's my absolute favorite food I've had since I've come to russia and would be rather sad if I couldn't make it when I got back home.

Now another food related question. Smetana (I apologize for my lack of cyrillic, but I haven't quite figured out the computers here). It's translated as sour cream in english. But it would appear that quite a few different foods are translated into the same phrase (sour cream) that have little or nothing in common apart from being dairy products. Are there more ways to translate them? Or am I over simplifying by calling it all smetana?

Ok, I see I can't persuade you in that other variants of tvorog are indeed tvorog and nothing else.
Let me keep my opinion and you keep yours if you want. I think we're not going to start a holy war around tvorog flavours, are we?

No problem. Go ahead eating the Soviet stuff in plastic bowels :)
